Why do children and adults stumble over words - what should we do if we don't understand

Here the Beckies chat about who are the word police and why do they correct everyone?Discover what we can do to help people who struggle with words. Kindness as always is the key,  the dance of conversation is so important interrupting people will only make them think you are not interested. Listen to what someone is really saying, to correct them is never a good idea. It stops flow, its stops creativity .  Try hard not to form your response while others are talking as you don't really know what they are thinking.  Allow for gaps conversations. What are we really trying to understand, and how do we value others. To be listened to is to be loved.  Try to get over the hiccups in conversations, as the value is in the interactions you create not in pronunciation. If you want to build confidence in others then listen and understand. Relax and engage in the delights of communications. Grab a cuppa, have a ten min listen with us and then head over to www.thrivinglanguage.co.uk and join our community of amazing early years.Podcasts, online training, face to face training, online courses.
